"We saw that vehicle on Orange Blossom Trail," said Orange County Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Paul Hopkins. "As a deputy pulled in behind it, the vehicle took off. Due to the nature of the crimes this person was committing, we felt it necessary to get him off the streets."

In the arrest affidavit, deputies said Williams refused to exit the vehicle once the truck was pinned next to this tree.

One deputy had to knock out a passenger side window with a baton, then Williams climbed out, the report said. Investigators said because he would not get on the ground and surrender, a K-9 unit was deployed.

Williams is said to have suffered only minor injuries from the crash.

Investigators said they know he's their guy because his vehicle was packed with stolen cigarettes, and he ran when deputies attempted to pull him over.

Williams questioned what paramedics were doing for him as he was being wheeled off. He will be taken to jail once he's released from the hospital.

"He was the only person in the vehicle tonight. He's being taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center to get checked out," said Hopkins.

Investigators said that officers also responded and took Williams shoes into evidence because he's been linked to a bank robbery.

Williams has several mug shots from previous arrests dating back to 1985. In fact, he has a total of 110 arrest records since he first arrest 28 years ago.

Williams is charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle and aggravated fleeing and eluding.
